Police will never know why he might have committed the horrendous
crime, but they have named a bizarre possible motive.

"What is our opinion? Financial. He had a lot of student loans
that were outstanding," Marion County Sheriff's Capt. Robert
Sandlin told the Daily News.

Wagner attended Villanova Law School in Pennsylvania and then
worked as a temp lawyer for a company that sent out lawyers to do
document review. That work tends to be boring and low-paid, but
one former colleague told the Daily News he was "good spirited."

It's not clear whether he ever found permanent work in
Philadelphia. In September 2011, he traveled to Washington state
for a father-son hiking trip. His father Roger died after falling
from a cliff during that trip, according to the Daily News.

Then the young lawyer's mother Carolyn was found shot to death in
her bed in December 2012. Police believe her son was the last
person to see her alive, and they began to regard him as a
suspect, the Daily News reported.

He killed himself in January, after police began investigating
him, according to the Daily News.

While police in Florida pointed to his massive loans as a
possible motive, the Daily News reported that Carolyn wasn't all
that wealthy and didn't have a life insurance
policy.

The
Daily News didn't elaborate on why the police think his debt
drove him to murder.
